Clark scores in Dynamo’s 2-0 win over DC United

In a rematch of the 2012 MLS Eastern Conference championship, the Dynamo
took a 1-0 lead on an own goal by United’s James Riley in the 80th minute. Off
Brad Davis’ corner kick, Riley and Clark went up for the ball, with Riley
heading it into the left net.

Clark extended Houston’s lead to 2-0 in the 89th minute, taking a pass from
Warren Creavalle outside the right 6-yard box and sending it high inside the far
post.

Houston had a chance to score in the 40th minute, but Davis’ penalty kick
was stopped by a diving Bill Hamid. Clark’s follow was also stopped by Hamid.
Clark earned the free kick for Houston after being tripped from behind just
inside the upper box by Chris Korb.

Houston had another chance to take the lead in the first half off a corner
kick, but Will Bruin’s header from inside the goalkeeper’s box was cleared off
the end line by Korb, and Giles Barnes’ follow from inside the 6-yard box was
stopped by Hamid.
